WinMe to Vista networking glitch
Hmmmm!
After trying all the things mentioned in the earlier postings am still unable to access Vista files from Me though Me files from Vista are readily available. Vista folders show up on Me but won't open. Display is the proverbial "not responding" for those particular network locations. Any further ideas would be appreciated. Sincerely, Mr. David Oltmann |

I've seen this myself and know how frustrating it can be. If you have not already done so create a user with the same username and password on the Vista box as is being used on the box running Win Me. -- Mike Maltby |

Vista folders show up on Me but won't open. Display is the proverbial "not responding" for those particular network locations. Any further ideas would be appreciated. Sincerely, Mr. David Oltmann Microsoft ended support for Windows 95 in 2001 and for Windows 98/Me in 2006. Therefore, Microsoft doesn't support File and Printer Sharing between Vista and 95/98/Me. In my testing, I've seen the following problems when trying to access Vista's shared folders from 95/98/Me. I give a solution to #1 below. I'd love to know if anyone has found a solution to #2 and #3: 1. Incompatible default network authentication protocols. Windows 95/98/Me uses LM and NTLM authentication. Vista uses NTLMv2 authentication. This causes a prompt for the IPC$ password on 95/98/Me when password protected sharing is enabled on Vista. There is no valid response to the IPC$ prompt. 2. Incomplete enumeration of shares. 95/98/Me only sees some of Vista's shared folders. The names of some shared folders are truncated, making them inaccessible. 3. Instability. Accessing Vista's shared folders makes 95/98/Me hang or crash. If you want to try accessing Vista's shared folders from 95/98/Me, I recommend taking these safety measures first: make a restore point on Vista, and back up your important data on all computers. Here's how to configure Vista to use LM and NTLM authentication to allow access from 95/98/Me when password protected sharing is enabled. I'd like to thank my fellow MVP Evan Pearce, who helped me understand and test this: 1. Click the Start button, type "regedit" in the Start Search box, and press Enter. 2. Click "Continue" in the User Account Control prompt. 3. Open this registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Lsa 4. If they don't already exist, create DWORD values named LmCompatibilityLevel and NoLmHash. 5. Set LmCompatibilityLevel to 1. 6. Set NoLmHash to 0. 7. Restart the Vista computer. 8. Go to Control Panel User Accounts, click "Change your password", enter your current password in the boxes for "Current password", "New password", and "Confirm new password", and click "Change password". -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see. I'm sorry, but I don't answer questions addressed directly to me in E-mail or news groups.
